Mark McPherson.

So, last night I was ALL set to write this incredibly in depth and brilliant post about the genius of Dana Andrews in Laura. And more specifically: how the people who think he "lacked emotion"/ was horrible in the role are idiots. BUT, then I got distracted on Twitter and ended up saving the post for later and going off to watch The Bob Newhart Show. It's a sad tale.

ANYWAY, when I finally got back to writing the post this morning, I discovered that someone had taken my brilliant and in depth post and replaced it with some crazy ranting. I mean, it couldn't have been MY post. Have you EVER known me to use the phrase "unjustly maligned"?! I MEAN, REALLY?!

I simply couldn't post it, so I decided to start over here. Except, NOW, I can't think of anything to say. SERIOUSLY.

The Millie is speechless.

Do you understand the magnitude of this situation?!

The Millie has absolutely NOTHING to say. (Obviously, me not saying anything, does include a few words, but yeah...;-D)

Instead, I'm just going to be really lazy and post some photos of Dana in Laura. A film that I consider to be utterly perfect, and one of my absolute favorites.

< By the way, my copy of this "promises to be utter genius" book just arrived 3 minutes ago. I am quite excited. You should be too. Because YOU are going to get to hear ALL about it! ;-D

Oh, ahhhhhh, mmm mmmmm mmmmmmmm. What a joyous morning this is turning out to be! Man, I can't wait for my kids to nap this afternoon so I can watch "Laura." I think it's been over a year since I last saw it and that is a crying shame.

My fave scene is the one where Mark wanders around her apartment, touching her stuff. Communing with her past self in a slightly unsettling, curiously erotic, but never creepy way. I heart Dana!
